Yeah, that was my reading of his comments. Sounded to me like there was other options and that the club think it'll be tough for a young lad to be alone in a country where he doesn't speak the language, which seems a perfectly reasonable explanation.

Sounds like he was looking at it from the point of view of an old English bloke who goes to the algarve for his hols than a forward thinking coach who appreciates the Bundesliga is a decent standard and that Leipzig are a young exciting team.

Iíll be very surprised if Lookman starts games for RBL. I can see why the move would turn his head as itís the glamorous option but the sensible move would be to a championship team to get more game time. He either has a high opinion of himself or his agent is telling his client he should be playing CL football even at this early stage of his career. Neither bode well.

As for the Klaassen deal...sounds like it was to do with money and his camp not budging on some contractual issues.
